As millions of AI agents from different organizations begin interacting across digital environments, new collective and emergent behaviors pose risks that current safety evaluations — designed for isolated models — cannot address. The funding targets four research areas: building sandboxes and testbeds, studying agent network science, strengthening agent infrastructure (identity, reputation, commitment protocols), and developing oversight and control mechanisms. Proposals are open to academic and independent researchers worldwide, with a submission deadline of August 8, 2026, and awards announced in Autumn 2026. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
